Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

The early error path in hdm_probe() can jump to err_free_mdev before
&mdev->dev has been initialized with device_initialize(). Calling
put_device(&mdev->dev) there triggers a device core WARN and ends up
invoking kref_put(&kobj->kref, kobject_release) on an uninitialized
kobject.
In this path the private struct was only kmalloc'ed and the intended
release is effectively kfree(mdev) anyway, so free it directly instead
of calling put_device() on an uninitialized device.
This removes the WARNING and fixes the pre-initialization error path.

The fmh_gpib driver contains a device reference count leak in
fmh_gpib_attach_impl() where driver_find_device() increases the
reference count of the device by get_device() when matching but this
reference is not properly decreased. Add put_device() in
fmh_gpib_detach(), which ensures that the reference count of the
device is correctly managed.

hdm_disconnect() calls most_deregister_interface(), which eventually
unregisters the MOST interface device with device_unregister(iface->dev).
If that drops the last reference, the device core may call release_mdev()
immediately while hdm_disconnect() is still executing.
The old code also freed several mdev-owned allocations in
hdm_disconnect() and then performed additional put_device() calls.
Depending on refcount order, this could lead to use-after-free or
double-free when release_mdev() ran (or when unregister paths also
performed puts).
Fix by moving the frees of mdev-owned allocations into release_mdev(),
so they happen exactly once when the device is truly released, and by
dropping the extra put_device() calls in hdm_disconnect() that are
redundant after device_unregister() and most_deregister_interface().
This addresses the KASAN slab-use-after-free reported by syzbot in
hdm_disconnect(). See report and stack traces in the bug link below.

Some MediaTek SoCs got a gated UART baud clock, which currently gets
disabled as the clk subsystem believes it would be unused. This results in
the uart freezing right after "clk: Disabling unused clocks" on those
platforms.
Request the baud clock to be prepared and enabled during probe, and to
restore run-time power management capabilities to what it was before commit
e32a83c70cf9 ("serial: 8250-mtk: modify mtk uart power and clock
management") disable and unprepare the baud clock when suspending the UART,
prepare and enable it again when resuming it.

When the ATN (Attention) line is asserted during a read we get a
NIUSB_ATN_STATE_ERROR during a read. For the controller to send a
device clear it asserts ATN. Normally this is an error but in the case
of a device clear it should be regarded as an interrupt.
Return -EINTR when the Device Clear Active State (DCAS) is entered
else signal an error with dev_dbg with status instead of just dev_err.

There are no scenarios where a weak increment is invalid on binder_node.
The only possible case where it could be invalid is if the kernel
delivers BR_DECREFS to the process that owns the node, and then
increments the weak refcount again, effectively "reviving" a dead node.
However, that is not possible: when the BR_DECREFS command is delivered,
the kernel removes and frees the binder_node. The fact that you were
able to call binder_inc_node_nilocked() implies that the node is not yet
destroyed, which implies that BR_DECREFS has not been delivered to
userspace, so incrementing the weak refcount is valid.
Note that it's currently possible to trigger this condition if the owner
calls BINDER_THREAD_EXIT while node->has_weak_ref is true. This causes
BC_INCREFS on binder_ref instances to fail when they should not.

Check the return value of reset_control_deassert() in the probe
function to prevent continuing probe when reset deassertion fails.
Previously, reset_control_deassert() was called without checking its
return value, which could lead to probe continuing even when the
device reset wasn't properly deasserted.
The fix checks the return value and returns an error with dev_err_probe()
if reset deassertion fails, providing better error handling and
diagnostics.

This driver was not sending device clear or trigger events when the
board entered the DCAS or DTAS state respectively in device mode.
DCAS is the Device Clear Active State which is entered on receiving a
selective device clear message (SDC) or universal device clear message
(DCL) from the controller in charge.
DTAS is the Device Trigger Active State which is entered on receiving
a group execute trigger (GET) message from the controller.
In order for an application, implementing a particular device, to
detect when one of these states is entered the driver needs to send
the appropriate event.
Send the appropriate gpib_event when DCAS or DTAS is set in the
reported status word. This sets the DCAS or DTAS bits in the board's
status word which can be monitored by the application.
